Description of problem: I have trying to get the Yamaha OPL3-SAx soundcard to detect on my Tecra 8000 with Fedora Core 2. Fedora is crap on old hardware such as Tecra 8000. This is driving me crazy. Spending hours trying to get a stupid sound card to work. mY kernel is 2.6.5-1.358 and i downloaded the next one up(can't remember exact no). My sound card is on irq 5 in the bios. Fedora can't detect it through lspci: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX Host bridge (AGP disabled) (rev 03) 00:04.0 VGA compatible controller: Neomagic Corporation NM2200 [MagicGraph 256AV] (rev 12) 00:05.0 Bridge: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ISA (rev 02) 00:05.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01) 00:05.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 USB (rev 01) 00:05.3 Bridge: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 02) 00:09.0 Communication controller: Toshiba America Info Systems FIR Port (rev 23)00:0b.0 CardBus bridge: Toshiba America Info Systems ToPIC97 (rev 05) 00:0b.1 CardBus bridge: Toshiba America Info Systems ToPIC97 (rev 05) I have tried ALSA but i read some forum to say i don't need it and it does not work when i try to insert into the kernel: modprobe snd-opl3sa2;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe snd-mixer- oss;modprobe snd-seq-oss i tried to insert the soundcard int the modprobe.conf: cat /etc/modprobe.conf alias eth0 3c589_cs alias usb-controller uhci-hcd # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-opl3sa2 # module options should go here # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 # card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss I have a pcmcia network and usb mouse that was irq confilcting but i fixed it by adding 'pci=bios' and 'acpi=noirq'; to the grub. I have tried changing the IRQ's of the soundcard and it did not work. Has anyone worked out how to get yahama sound card to detect? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is *probably* a driver issue. Non-PNP isa cards aren't automatically detected.
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
